Rambling Roses

Rambling roses are perfect for growing over arches and trellis’, due to their flexible branches which are easy to bend and tie in. Many rambling roses only flower once during early to mid-summer, but usually flower prolifically, producing clusters of flowers. The blooms of ramblers tend to be smaller than those of climbing roses, but are produced in such abundance that once established the result is often breath-taking. Many ramblers also go on to produce attractive hips in the autumn. Scrambling roses, or scramblers, are similar to rambling roses, but generally even more vigorous making them great for growing up into trees or planted to cover large areas.

(Sempervirens Rambler) Clusters of small, shapely, semi-double, powder pink to creamy white flowers cascading in profusion from a well foliated, evergreen climber. Vigorous in a rather refined way, this fragrant rambler is ideal for growing into trees. with training it would also make a delightful hedging rose.

(Wichurana) Superb glossy foliage produced on long, pliable stems hold, shapley flowers that are slightly scrolled in bud, opening to semi-double, creamy white, flushed lemon-yellow. Very healthy and vigorous, one of the best ramblers.

(Climber) A sumptuous, fully double, quartered form of 'New Dawn' with all its parent's characteristics, including continuity of flower and colour. Slender habit. Brought back from Czechoslovakia by Mr. Dick Balfour.

(Moschata) A vigorous but not overpowering, large shrub or climber. Huge heads of well spaced, single, white and pink flowers with a strong perfume. Ideal as a small tree climber. Small orange hips in autumn.
